Psalm 105:15, 2020, collage with found paper
Call me crazy
for having a good memory. Call me crazy for remembering exactly what was said and done. Call me crazy for having receipts. Call me crazy for writing it down when it happened, because I already knew you'd try to rewrite it later. Call me crazy for not laughing it off and not letting it slide.
"Crazy" does a very specific job. It takes an inconvenient truth that threatens the facade and false narratives a psychopath, a toxic family, or a corrupt institution has been telling about itself, and it relocates the problem to the whoever exposes the lie.
This move is performed by psychopaths and narcissists, nosy mofos who don’t know how to mind their business, fake friends, and snakes who call themselves family. It is performed by corrupt authorities as part of toxic systems that are supposed to protect people but instead protect psychopaths from being held accountable for their shitty behavior.
It is organized and coordinated by opposition who treat me as a subject to be monitored, harassed, questioned, criticized, and judged rather than a human being worthy of respect and dignity.
It is obvious what it actually is: a weapon. Weapons only work as long as the target is afraid to notice they're being aimed at.
Unafraid.
I'm still going to tell the truth.
